Last year (2014) over 50 MASSOB (Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra) members, were reportedly killed and dumped at the Ezu River. Till date, little or no protest(s), or international outcry by Biafran agitators worldwide. At least not any one, the author is aware off.
Last year (2014), Biafran Zionist Movement (BZM), attempted to seize the Enugu State Government House/Radio Station. Their leader Ben Onwuka (London Based) and about 13 members are currently facing treasonable charges. From my last information, the lawyer representing them is a Yoruba man. Till date, little or no protest(s), or international outcry about this, by Biafran agitators worldwide.
October 2015, over 40 people that took part, on pro Biafran protest/solidarity march for Nnamdi Kanu, at Port Harcourt are facing treasonable charges. Perhaps, these people might likely be forgotten in Jail. This protest took place about 27/10/15. Till date, little or no protest(s), or international outcry about this, by Biafran agitators worldwide.
Then came the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, followed by series of protests. One begins to ask, why were there no protests about other Biafran agitators arrested, killed or facing treasonable charges?
Hundreds, if not thousands have died on these struggles. Igbos have split enough blood. At the same time, the author do not support the extra judicial killings of protesters by the Nigerian authorities. See a video on that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGhMXdTQJFk
The author will not stop any Igbo nor anyone from agitating, but by all means, do it through legal means, that is the political and judicial processes. No life is worth loosing.
